Christopher Barry, 24, and Travis Edwards, 23, were hired by a Lantana couple to “do various handyman services at their home,” located on Southeast Atlantic Drive, according to the arrest report. Police were informed that Barry attempted to cash a check , worth $850, from the couple’s checkbook that went missing.

Barry and Edwards did not have permission to enter the house without their permission, the couple said to police.

When officers questioned the two suspects, Edwards admitted to stealing the couple’s items. Edwards told police he sold the stolen silverware to a jewelry store in Greenacres for $130, and pawned the Louis Vuitton merchandise for $80.

Barry also admitted to forging the check, which he said he found on the floor of their garage.
